Facnor is "the" precursor in manufacturing continuous line Code zero & Gennaker furlers, we have supplied these since 1998 and in that we are often copied but never equalled. Most 60' monohulls and multihulls are now equipped with Facnor continuous line Code zero & Gennaker furlers: reliable and safely handled alone. These furlers are designed to support the high working and breaking load of over 500m2 Gennakers.
